Sodus Point board orders temporary billing holds while water meter readings are reviewed
Summary
Several unusually high quarter-meter readings prompted trustees to direct CEO Druschel and Trustee Sprague to review suspect accounts; the Board agreed to charge the minimum on questioned bills and to waive penalties on clarified overages paid after Oct. 31, 2025.
The Board discussed a number of water-meter readings that were higher than normal for the quarter. CEO Druschel explained that all readable meters had been read and that the village has changed how meter data are entered; trustees asked staff to investigate whether errors, leaks, or previous underestimates explain the overages.
Trustee Sprague and CEO Druschel will review questioned accounts in the office. The Board moved to charge the minimum amount for accounts under investigation and to refrain from applying penalties on any overage that is later explained and paid after the Oct. 31, 2025 due date unless a resolution is reached before that date. The Board also asked staff to continue researching an Automated Meter Reading offer from Sensus (quote: $5,408.37; first quarter free) as a possible long-term remedy to reading and data-entry inconsistencies.
